PAT Chairman Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri expressed his deep sense of grief and
sorrow on the martyrdom of ANP leader Haroon Bilour and other political workers
in a suicide blast. He condemned the incident of terrorism in the strongest possible
words and demanded of the authorities to apprehend the culprits and met out exemplary
punishment to them. He also prayed for early recovery of the injured.

The PAT leader reached Spain from Athens where he will hold meetings with the
Pakistani community and address a conference on the subject of the moral and spiritual
development of man in Barcelona on July 15.

Different delegations belonging to the diaspora community met Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri
yesterday. Talking to them, the PAT leader said that Pakistan is a country of patriotic
and hard-working people. He said that the successful mechanical heart surgery is
a great achievement on which the team of doctors and other professionals deserve
to be congratulated. He said that in the same way Pakistan has also launched indigenously
produced satellites into the space which represents a way forward in terms of space
research.

Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri further said that good news are coming in at the national level
which includes Pakistan winning the trilateral cricket series and retaining the
first position on the T20 ranking. He said that Pakistan is a country of the talented
people but it is the corrupt system that has hindered them from showing their amazing
talents. He said that with the ouster of the corrupt elite, remittances from abroad
have also increased, which is a welcome development.

The PAT Chairman said that the overseas Pakistanis are patriotic and ready to
offer anything for the country but their confidence was hurt due to rampant corruption
and loot and plunder of the national resources at the hands of the tiny elite. He
said that the Chief Justice has stated that the people are not ready to give their
money to the elected governments because they think that their money will not be
utilized judiciously and honestly. He said that the overseas Pakistanis are in anguish
over the prevailing state of affairs in the country. He said that it is through
merciless and across the board accountability that their broken trust will be repaired.
